Shawn was able to stand without support few weeks back. He started off with a few seconds. Now, he can stand for about 15 seconds (YC timed it last weekend). When he did that, he'll smile very happily, as if very satisfied with his own 'achievement'.
My mum told me that Shawn could take 1 to 2 steps (without support) a couple of weeks ago. Over the weekend, he progressed to taking 3 to 4 steps. Cherylin could walk on her own when she turned 1 year 1 week's old. Let see if Shawn follows suit. Am not stressing myself nor pressuring Shawn, just want to know if they have the same rate of development at least in one area (in terms of teething and sleeping through the nite, Shawn is much slower). But i must say that it's really cute to see baby crawl..... :)

My new toy!
Bought myself a new toy last sat. Been wanting to buy it a couple of months ago. Finally decided to take action so that i can use it during Shawn's birthday celebration. Guess what is it?
It's a Canon DSLR. I've interest in photography but am not a pro. So why did I buy it? Cos my friend said it's very user friendly (when set to auto mode), just need to point and shoot just like a compact digicam. And I've seen pictures taken by DSLR. Really very nice. I especially like those focus on the object and blurry background effect.
Did some recce on the price on Fri. Went to 4 shops and found that the one at HV is the cheapest!
I probably won't be holding on to the camera on this sat: (1) have not learnt how to use it effectively yet, (2) i should be carrying shawn and the camera will be in the way. So, told YC to ask his brother/cousin help take pictures :)

Cherylin attends Nursery Class!
The pictures below say it all. Cherylin attended her first day of nursery class on 2 Jan 09. We took leave and brought her to class. No cries, no clingy on to mummy. She even talked to her teacher without fear (she was playing with some toys and asked the teacher how to fix the blocks). She happily waved bye bye to us when we left the class. Well done! My brother thought she would cry on her first day of school. Thankfully it was a breeze for her to start school again, with new environment, new classmates (well, there are about 3-4 kids from her previous class, perhaps that helped to settle her more easily?) and new teacher.
It's been 1 week since she started school. Other than being grudgy on 1 morning (cos she didn't have enuf sleep) and throw a little tantrum at my mum's place, she was perfectly ok on rest of the mornings. Brush her teeth, change into her uniform, wear her shoes - all done without a fuss. She's happy everyday when she goes to school. Even told YC she likes to go to school. :)

Farewell Party for Cherylin's Playgroup (12 Dec 08)
Oops, i forgot to blog this. 12 Dec was Cherylin's last day at her playgroup (she's going to a new centre next year). There was no class on that Fri. Instead, all kids were asked to bring a food item (potluck) for the farewell party. I took leave on that day to bring Cherylin to the centre. We brought fishballs and kueh bulu. I left after Cherylin went into the centre. Came back at 10:15am as advised by the teacher. The parents then went in to join in the party. Wow, there's lots of food. I think most kids like fishballs. Hence, there wasn't much left by then (which is a good sign).
The class took a group picture and sang their sual goodbye song.

New Year's Eve
Went back to office today for our dept's Year End Party. Yeah! Don't need to work at all. Reached office at 9am and had a meeting before heading to Vivocity for our party at 930am. Surprisingly, everything ended at 11:15am (instead of 12.30am as per programme sheet). Yippee, we were allow to leave a 11:20am (initially was told can only leave at 12.30pm which is the official half day knock off time).
Off i went for shopping at Vivocity. Bought clothes for Cherylin, YC and myself. Oops, none for Shawn again (hehe..but i did buy him a pant two days back when we were at Vivocity).
Had a coffee break at Gloria Jeans in btw shopping. I went back to my mum's place at abt 5:20pm. Gotta express milk to relief the discomfort. Wanted for YC to pick us up as his brother had organised a party at his place. Surprisingly the crowd waited for everyone to arrive before starting the makan session. It was already 8pm plus when we arrived. Cherylin had a great time feasting and plaing with her cousins. Reached home at close to 1am.
How time flies, 1 year has already passed by and CNY is just round the corner. Hmm...this year i'm going to eat all the CNY goodies till I'm satisfied (cos i was on maternity during CNY last year. Haha..
